CLASSICS: Clobo's Halloween Ghost Stories!

gonna be a big part of my afternoon today. So yeah, we're gonna go buy some pumpkins and all that sort of stuff because it is Halloween time, which is at least half the year at my house, but it's also the most important season of the year, So that's kind of what I'm up to so today, at least today yesterday, though I was in the woods, I got out to the woods yesterday a little bit found a possible track way.

It was pretty vague interesting. I mean, it wasn't just like one print in the ground, and it wasn't clear by any means, but there were toes at least what I'm interpreting is toes. But it was on a rocky gravelly road, actually the same spot I took you when you me and Dave went out last year. At some point right at that intersection there, I observed four tracks in the ground, and I think I was a three track,

no One two. There were three clearly observable, and I think I'm missing one, and there was also a partial that might have been one. It's hard to say. So yeah, I thought I was missing one in the sequence of tracks. But if these were Sasquatch tracks, I cast one as usual. It looks terrible. But if these were Sasquatch tracks, it was I may measured about fifteen inches long a little bit more, which is a different new size, new size

for this place. So far, I've only gotten the fourteen which is actually a thirteen and a half and twelve, which is actually only eleven and a half. But there's a decent chance that this is actually the thirteen and a half or fourteen inch individual, just leaving a little bit bigger print as all. So I don't know. I don't know, but it might be a new one. So I'm going to keep my eye on the area, try to get out there once or twice a week as

weather permits. Although I shouldn't even say as weather permits, because it dumped on me yesterday when I was out there. I was out there alone, just walking in the downpours, getting soaked. Man, it was cold and wet. And then I went to a different elevation and sure enough, snow yesterday. Snow no way, yeah, I mean, I mean, not only was it just hailing because the tumultuous weather, but there was actually light dusting of snow everywhere.

just outside of the Timothy Lake area. I'd like to go check out that area, walk around, see if there's anything going on that I can detect. But we will see, we will see. We're at the mercy of mother nature as usual. Anything going on with you.

remember where the pigeon came from. It it was because when he was in when him and tr another pigeon, were in grade school, like seventh grade or something, that coach wanted to calm the sea their soccer team and it was a sisters team's name in the year before was the Seagulls, and so they were protesting that it was a girl tame name, and the coach goes, what do you want me to call you guys the pigeons, And those guys thought that was pretty cool. So they that's where the name came from, you.

comes to ghosts. Nevertheless, I love to hear ghostly stories and was hoping you guys might have something to tell, And so I thought, you know, rather than doing that in an answer to a question, in a whole series of questions, since it's Halloween, we could be fun to do a whole Halloween special episode because I know both you guys have some pretty good ghost stories.

and weird young adult. I just liked unusual things, you know, And I stumbled across Bigfoot stuff and I realized that it wasn't as weird as I thought. And the weird stuff, you know, could go in a different corner of my life just for entertaining thought experiments, whereas this bigfoot thing, Well, that's biology, you know, and I can apply biological methods and that sort of stuff to it, and that's what

I started doing. So I don't think there's anything weird or paranormal about sasquatches at all, really, And many people would disagree, and that's fine, do what you want to do. But I'm only basing on my experience, my thirty years plus experience in this field, being around these things, having seen one or two of them in my life, been tracking them and smelling them and hearing them. Never ever, ever, once, if I ever had anything weird happen to me that

out of the ordinary around bigfoot stuff. So I don't think there's anything there. But that is I mean that I don't enjoy the idea or of paranormal things, you know. So just to dispel that incorrect belief and rumor that circulates about me out there that I'm no fun about all that sort of stuff, I just don't think it applies to bigfoot in any way whatsoever. But yeah, I've certainly had some ghost stuff, and I know Bobo has had more than his fair share of ghost weird stuff.

So and everyone told us it was haunted, but it made so much noise all the time anyways that you know, stuff settles and temperature changes. You know, there's pops and all that kind of sounds. And so I never I never listened to people and they say those places wanted. I can feel it, and I was like, I don't, I don't know. This seems fine to me. And then after being there for several years, it was moving out and I was actually unloading my shotgun, you know, put

it in the truck and move it. And as I was unloading it, I see the my bedroom door look out into the dining room right where it went into the living room. I mean it in the kitchen area. The kitchener had like a like a ten foot wide doorway, you know. So we had an old quilt pinned up over that to keep the heat in the living room and dining area where we hung out because the kitchen

was big and kind of drafty. And I was sitting there and all of a sudden I saw it when I like, it looked like a uh like just someone like whatever. All it was just all black, like a shadow. Yeah, that curtain lifted up and the shadow went through like where the curtain looked up, it went through. And I was like, I thought it was like someone saw that thought the house was empty because we were moving out, but came into sea or something. I didn't know what

it was. And I had my shot and I ran out and DD he was barking and charging out and my next onever was flushing his engine on his on his outboard right there boat was there, and I said, dude, I go, and he's like, no one's no one's here. And I ran and looked down through the field and there was there was no one there, and I was like,

they must all they went into the bathroom. So I got DJ we ran back in the house because he could go off the kitchen into the bathroom and there's a pantry in there, and I thought, it's in the pantry of the bathroom, and I ran and there was no one in there, and I thought, well, they must have circled back through the house and there was nobody there.

And then a couple years that I've heard about the shadow people whatever you like, people like there's just a silhouette of a black shadow and that's I guess what I saw. It was. It was perplexing and befuddling, but it wasn't like scary.

starting to notice a thinning hair? Who me, maybe a little a little hair left or a little thinning hair both, Well, I've got good news for you. Bobo Hymns offers access to prescription treatments for regrowing hair and as little as three to six months, so you can see a fuller head of hair like Bobo in the old days. By fall.

like real bad energy, like really better. There was a bunch of fights and then so I was outside with this guy Kai Kyborg. He was like two time super heavyweight street Fighting Chapter of the World down on Rio. It was himming, and this guy Sunny Garcia, who was like this. He was a really well known kind of Hawaiian guy, like he'd win the world title like the year before or two years before, something like that for a pro server. He was a big, pretty buff dude.

He was. He was a known tough guy whatever. And so the three of us are sitting out there talking and we were like, my masis is getting pretty ugly in there, and Ty was getting ready to throw everybody out. So we're sitting and I'm looking I had my back to the house looking at the ocean, and Ty was forty. He was like a ninety yeree angle from the beach looking he was looking down like up up the beach, looking east. And then Sonny was he had his back

to the ocean looking at the party. Then be off to like Sonny's left shoulder on the right side on my right in the bushes, it's just a small space like maybe twelve feet wide, like fifteen feet at the most, like twelve feet were some bushes there along between and sand and the and the where it drops off down on the beach from the property, there's there's still about twelve foot space and in those bushes, I swear to you also there's like three heads just kind of I materialized.

They were all kind of brown, like what were they almost see through looking, but they were like three or four times the size of a normal human head. They were. They were big. They were probably like you know, two foot by like you know, twenty four by eighteen inches or something like that, you know, something like that. And they were all like touching each other, like three dots like a pyramid shape, almost like like a pyramid tilted on its side. I guess, Eric hunos whatever. So that

was a hey out. That was a hay out they sacrifice. Right where we were standing was a hayout. They used to do sacrifices there. What's a heyout like a temple old Hawaiian temple area. So I go, no way, I'm like, there's some ghost heads and I don't I don't think even looks. He just goes and Sonny just started chanting, dude,

and I guess, I guess, but he was singing. It was like a chant was he was saying I'm sunny from the this and this family line, and you chant out like your your back of your family linear and who your family vanquished, because those might be ghosts of someone that your family killed, that you killed them. It's not like you got to be scared because your family killed him. Is like we're more powerful than you, Like this is my family line, Like whatever your family line is,

you're not as powerful with my family line. It's kind of like how I guess he explained it later, but like he started chating like like these Hawaiian I didn't know what the hell he was saying. I guess it was mostly just names, like saying like the son of the son of that. And then Tony closed your eyes and looked down. They both had their eyes closed looking down, and I did. And then I close my eyes and looked down. I waited about thirty six. I opened up

my looks and I go, they're still there. He's like, close your eyes and look down, and he just didn't say nothing, and Sonny was doing his little pant thing. Then I closed my eyes for like another thirty teaingons I opened them again, they were gone. Yeah, So that's the only time i've ever seen the ghosts. Really, yeah, I thought I thought a second settlement in Ohio. But it turned out to not be a shadow man.

It followed us back to the base camp. It was cool. Yeah, Flippy had a rock strewn at him. I heard knocks while I was doing my interview, and several of the producers got, you know, pretty close with that thing. And I know you saw it, and a couple other people heard it and got scared out of their place and stuff. And that's not paranormal, that's just the big foot stuff.

I mean, when you're when you're really young, it's hard to say what's real and what's not, you know, because I think that the little look at the way like small small young children behave like they're clearly on a different level, you know, they're they're the veil is much thinner for them, right, It's kind of like cats, you know. I do like small children, I mean like two or three years old, maybe four, that they're kind of like cats.

They see things and experience or reality that the adults just simply do not.

And I remember, I don't even know how young I was. Again, this is one of my earliest foggy I do remember being in my crib. I have a couple weird memories of being in my crib.

something like that. You know, I was born in nineteen seventy so this had to be in nineteen seventy three, nineteen seventy four, so you can imagine the style of art that we're dealing with. And it was a plaster clown that had been painted, and I remember it very vividly, you know, and I always thought it was very weird that sometimes, you know, it was a clown, so it was smiling sometimes, but other times it wasn't. It was frowning.

And I never even thought about that, right, So how a plaster clown could be both smiling and frowning sometimes. But you know, you're a little kid, you don't really

question these things. And I remember, probably a decade and a half later, I probably was like fifteen or sixteen or more, at my grandparents' house when they were still alive, and you know, rummaging around and looking for treasures in my grandma's house because she always my grandma grandpa's house because he had such cool stuff in their like spare rooms and garage and all that sort of stuff. And I ran across the clown and it blew my mind because there it was smiling. But yet I have clear

memories of it frowning at me. I guess as a foreshadowing of psychological issues later in life for something I don't know. And speaking of foreshadowing, another thing I witnessed or I have a memory of, is that I was very, very afraid of the dark when I was a kid.

light in from the of the rooms. And I remember lying on my side one night and looking out the door or whatever into that very same hallway, the hallway I'm gonna get to in a minute, and I swear I have a memory of a three three and a half foot tall, hairy biped running past the door. How

crazy is that? Like? As far as foreshadowing. That's nice, that is that's kind of weird, right, yeah, yeah, And of course you know, I'm sure paranormal advocates are going see they're inside your house, Cliff, I go, dude, I was like three or three. Now, I suspect it was something else, something that I don't think it was a sasquatch in my house. Come on, I don't believe that for a second. But you know, some other things I observed, like one time, I swear to god, I saw seven

foot easter bunny at the end of the hall. But again, I was like a kid, So what's real what's not? I don't know. I still remember what the way it looked though.

And I'm assuming this is some sort of in between sleep and awake state hallucination, you know, that sort of thing, you know, But I remember lying on my side, the blankets over there, and you know, I'm just facing my room and very slowly rising up from from where I couldn't see it for like next to my bed. I had a fear of things living under my bed too. My mom, God was her. She would always say, don't let the gorilla under your bed get you, which is a horrible thing to say, is to a child. Because

there's a gorilla under my bed. I didn't know about this, you know, and that scared me for a long time. And I think that probably fed my or you know, put some wind in my sails towards the Sasquatch Island I live on now, you know, being afraid of these gorilla things under my bed. But I was lying on my side and it was night, my parents were in bed,

I remember that. And then slowly rising up from next to my bed was ahead of some sort and in the light it appeared you know, gray or something like that. And I just when the head started coming up next to my bed, I just remember it as this is a little kid. I'm thinking, Oh my god, And I froze in fear as this head slowly rose up until I could see down to about its nose and it

was looking at me. And you know, at that time, I had already been super interested and really in love with the universal monsters, you know, Dracula, you know, Frankenstein and Wolf all that kind of stuff. And at the time, the thing I thought it looked like most was the Phantom of the Opera. I think it's long chaining that plays that, you know, with like the deep dark, sunken black eyes and the weird looking nose and the big

forehead and all that sort of stuff. And it was just and it rose up to about its nose and it was just looking at me, and of course I was looking back at it, just horrified, absolutely petrified in fear. And I remember it's like I was trying to yell, which is why I think that maybe I was half asleep because one of those things, but I couldn't do it. I eventually yelled, and then when I did yell, it just went poop back down underneath the bed. And then

that was horrifying and scary and every single way. And I still remember all all of these events pretty well as well as you can looking back, you know, fifty years into an already cloudy memory, you know. But those were some of the earliest weird things that I saw growing up and whatnot. But that's not what the question was about. Even though I think they're pret interesting stories and we're in this very very spooky, halloweeny kind of

things to share with the listeners. And yeah, these are some of my experiences that I have filed away in my in my memory.

still aran. It was in my friend's yard and his wife and we went to bed. She came in and goes, if you have any problems, wrap this bible and ask Jesus to help you. And I said, well, she goes, if you need this, there's a bible here on the butt on the nightstand, take it and say Jesus helped me, and he will. I was like, all right, And so you know, we were going to sleep, but are going to bed. I was laying there and I was it was a sodium light, like a you know, orange lake.

I don't know. I was a streetlight or a yard light anyways, so that there was a light outside and

it was lighting up the room kind of. And then I just remember feeling like this full negative evil energy come in and I couldn't see anything, but this thing like kind of came around me, like it was like a heavy presence in it, and it came and started crushing my chest and I couldn't breathe, and it started pushing harder and harder, and I was frozen, and I remember going like I'm wide out of I remember looking over at the side, looking turning my head and looking

out the window, going okay, i can see the trees and bushes, like I'm totally awake. I'm totally awake, but I'm like it's it's got me locked up and I can't move. It's freezing. It's frozen me, and it's just crushing me. And I was like like having this battle in my mind, going like get off me, get off me, you know, like get off me, get out of here, you know, like that kind of stuff. And then I remember what she said about that Bible that I said Okay,

I gotta get to that Bible. I remember like just struggling and struggling, like I got a hold the Bible and I brought it and I brought it back to over to my chest and I said, Jesus helped me. She tell me everything lifted, I could breathe, and I just sat up straight, like bolted up. And then I jumped up out of bed. I was like panting, I was out of breath, and I was just like, oh my God. And I always told that story like I you know, I had my demon encounter. That was a demon.

I mean, I know it was one of those you know, lucid dreaming events, But that was the little scared I ever was in any kind of situation like that.

they're going to come down into my bedroom. And I was like, she goes, I know they ud they're moving furniture up there, and they like they're living up there. It sounds like. I was like, ah, that's weird, and she said, but she hadn't heard it for a couple

of days. So a couple days later I was home for a few days, and then that evening, it was pretty early still, like seven or eight o'clock, we started hearing someone walking up there and like ragging, like it's like someone moving like a table, like just with one person, like moving a table, like dragging it. You know. Then you're like cowboy boots are like you know, hard, hard souls, like you know, like dresses or something like this pump

punk punk like heavy footsteps. We're like, oh, there's someone like there's someone up there. There's someone living up there. So I goes, you know, this it is called tops you know, get them busted. We called the cops and like I was, probably raccoons broken up there. And they went and got a ladder and they came up there and put it up in the hallway and and went up in there with their flashlights, and like they didn't

go up all the way. They just like poked their head and shoulders from there and they flashed around and said, there's nothing up here. I was like, that's the weirdest thing. I was like his creed always say this place was super haunted, and I was like, no way, And I

was like, I guess. So then then we heard when we when we were in the hallway, we heard more noise up there, and the cop went back up there and shine the light around, and all of a sudden he just goes And I was standing probably about eight or feet back from him, of courses towards the entrance door, and he just goes, well, jumped down off the ladder, and everyone everyone like there was closter to him, the media all the like at the scene, everyone like whoa, whoa.

And then all of a sudden, this oldest air like like a twenty five degree difference, like drop like our thirty degree difference. It was probably like six, like probably fifty sixty degrees out like this thirty degree air just slowly went not slowly but like walking speed, just went completely. Engulfment went past me and everyone was freaking out on the old map. Came down on them and went out towards the exit door, and it smelt like roses, roses. Yeah, weird.

did not do well. I got a D in Spanish, so I retook it during summer school, you know, to go back and raise my grade up for GPA stuff, which is funny because I speak Spanish all right now, you know, it's pretty okay, But back then I just did not get it. For whatever reason. I think that it wasn't mentally mature enough to deal with it. Lot of my subjects were like that. I think I probably can do calculus now, for example, but I just wasn't mentally maturn up when I tried it the first time.

But Spanish was a challenge for me at that time. And so my parents would take vacations every summer, you know, and they went without me, you know, which is fine because I was getting at that age. I didn't want to go anyway, but I couldn't. I was also too young to be trusted at home alone, according to my parents, So I had to go stay at my grandparents' house on Stern's Sterns Avenue or road or whatever, down in

Long Beach, California. So I remember I was there and one night I was lying in what used to be my mother's bedroom and my grandmother used it for a sewing room, and there's some old pictures of people who I probably haven't related to, but I don't know, and it's kind of a creepy place, stacks of fabric and you know that kind of stuff, lying around and lying in a bed, and I remember lying on my right hand side watching the the i'll say, digital clock although

I mean, I imagine a lot of our audience might be too young, but a lot of our audience is not too young to know these kinds of digital clocks. It wasn't like an LED screen or what everything like that. It was remember those, I guess. It was like two cards, a top fifty percent and a lower fifty percent, and over both cards the number would be written, but at certain times it would like flip. Yeah, I remember those.

I could tell, I was awake. I remember this quite vividly, and I was lying on my right hand side looking at the clock as I was saying, and then about halfway down the bed, the sheets lifted up like like, imagine again, this is just what I observed. Imagine somebody grabbing the sheets with one hand and then lifting the sheets up so it kind of had draped down from that one place like in a triangular fashion.

bed with me, you know. And at that point I was I was scared when the when the sheets were up, but when the the mattress pushed down, like I was very very frightened, and I kind of panicked and says it was like halfway down the bed where I was lying and I kind of lie in a fetal position. What I did is I took my one of my legs and I kicked like with the with the planner surface of my foot, like the bottom sole of my I kicked off that direction where this stuff was happening,

and I hit something. It felt like a person. It felt like I was hitting a person, like in the mid part of their belly or something like that, or stirnham or something like that. And as I made contact, I heard oh, and the sheet dropped. And that was the end of it, except for the next two hours laying awake in terror, not wanting to wake up my grandparents or anything like that. And I mentioned it to him later and they said, no, nothing's weird ever happened

here or whatever. You know, But that was the first time that I think I encountered something immensely ghosty as a kind of an adult, you know, little kid hallucinations aside, But as an adult, that was the first time that I encountered something that really scared me bad and that I couldn't explain that I seemed to have my face about. You know. It seems like I believe I was awake during that time. Maybe I wasn't, and that's the explanation for it. But even then, it's just scared the heck

out of it. Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bobo. Will be right back after these messages. I guess, I don't know if I can count that first one as a as a sighting of a ghost because I didn't see what was doing it. I just saw the effects of whatever was doing it.

This one happened here and it didn't happen to my house where I live now, it happened to my house. At my house I lived in Portland, the small little house over there off of Sandy Boulevard. So Melissa and I met her on the show. We dated for a few years, fell in love, decided to give it a go, and so Melissa said that she would be willing to

live in Oregon. You know. So after all that stuff happened, what I did is I flew out to Pittsburgh, and then Melissa and I drove out together in her vehicle, you know, and we always shipped some of her belongings out, that sort of stuff, and so, you know, it was like a wonderful, cool road trip. Took about a week or so to get out here, four or five six

days to get out here, I can't remember. And then we get back on I'd have to ask Melissa exact days, but I'll tell you best my memory, and give me. Forgive me if I'm a day or two off, if I remember right. We got back on a Friday, okay. And then Friday night or Saturday morning, we get a call that Melissa's grandmother is not doing well. Her grandmother on her mother's side, she is not doing well. It looks like she's probably going to pass away in the

next couple of days, that sort of stuff. So literally, Melissa arrives on a Friday, Saturday, we get the news Sunday, I believe it was Sunday. We put her on a plane to go back to Pittsburgh to go be with her family during this horrible time or you know, solemn time. Really at least that when her grandmother is passing away. Right, So, and I get the word on Monday morning that Grandma had passed away. Okay, so at least Melissa got to go back in time and all that chize. And I believe,

at least this is what I remember. I could be wrong about some of this stuff. So Monday morning, I believe Grandma died. Melissa was still in Pittsburgh. So I'm at the house Monday, Monday. Monday nights, I go to sleep, you know, as I normally do, and then at some point in the night I don't know when, I didn't catch the time or anything like that, for whatever reason, I woke up. Now to set the scene, the room's

about maybe ten twelve feet square more or less. The door is on one corner, the bed is on the opposite wall. Of the door and on the opposite side of the room, so facing the door. I was lying on my right hand side again as I often do, so I could see the doorway, and the blinds are got letting a little bit of light in, so that the room has this creepy sort of bluish tinge to it,

you know. And so I wake up in the middle of the night, I don't know when, and everything's blue and kind of creepy, and I just kind of wake up, and I look over to the door, which is open, and there's a there's a woman standing in my doorway. She looks to me kind of like Melissa, you know. She had blondish hair, She was looking down, she was

looking downwards, just standing there. She was in a nightgown, like a just kind of a nighty sort of thing, like a loose sort of white, whitish thing that went down to about her knees. She didn't wasn't wearing any shoes at all. I remember seeing that. And she was kind of blondish hair, at least in the weird like nighttime moonlight sort of thing. It looked like she had blondish hair or at least light colored hair. And she was looking down and I could not see her face.

She was doing a strange movement. Her arms were just hanging by her side, and she was like stepping to her left foot, then back to the right foot, then back to the left foot back. It almost like swaying, but like stepping back and forth looking down. Hair aped over her face, obscuring all of her features. But to me for all the world, she looked like Melissa in that same position.

a half feet tall or so something like that. Her entire height condenses down like from from her feet, her goes it goes up from her head, it goes down and condenses into this blur like this swoosh like and it swooshed out of the room and down the hall towards the living room. You've been to my house, so Bobe, you know, you kind of picture this. It was like the moments I reached my hand down, of course, I did turn the light on, and nothing was there. And

I was just horrified and scared. And I look and so she's not in the room. My dog, So I call her, soji were soja come here? Come here? And she kind of trots in the room wondering like what's up. A few moments later she was sleeping in the couch in the living room. And that's it. That's the end of that story, really, because except for again being scared and horrified for the next hour or two until I fall asleep again my adrenaline drops. So I don't know

what that was. Maybe it was I kind of have an idea maybe, since it did that figure did in fact look like Melissa. I think that maybe that was Grandma coming to check on her on her on her way out the door, so to speak. I don't really know. It did look like Melissa to me, though, except I couldn't see her face, and but you know, Grandma didn't have that color hair, and Grandma doesn't really look like

Melissa and all this other stuff. But you know, souls may appear a little bit different than the outside appearances could. So anyway, those are my two ghost stories for this Halloween episode here, So there you go.
